Pvt. Charnisky & PFC Layton (FIG '05)

   The 4th Infantry Division MP Platoon WWII reenactment unit was formed in the Fall of 2001. There are usually a few scattered individuals that would show up at events wearing MP brassards & a helmet decked out with bold "MP" markings. There didn't seem to be much in the way of organization of these troops. So it was decided to form a dedicated military police unit that would perform the same role that the brave MP's of the US Army did over half a century ago. The contributions of these men is often overlooked.

   Our reenactment unit is based in Maryland, but we have members from Pennsylvania, Virginia, New Jersey, Ohio and Indiana as well. We participate in living history events, equipment & uniform displays, and battle reenactments. Our impression is typically that of the combat area military policemen, but we also portray stateside or pre-invasion England American MP's depending on the focus of the event. If you are looking to recreate a different aspect of the WWII GI, the 4th Infantry Division Military Police Platoon may be just what you're looking for!
